Going Back to Work Transition Tips Please! SAHD Going Back To Work!

Gabrielle

Hello!

I am a 23 year old female and my husband is a 29 year old male. We have been together almost 5 years, married for 3. We have a 3 year old daughter together.

My husband has been a stay at home dad for the last 6 months, but will be working for AT&T corporate location 1.5 hours away (waiting for a spot to open at our local corporate) starting 10/5. He greatly enjoys being a SAHD, and is very anxious but also excited to be working again. He has been wanting to work for AT&T for a few years now but our area is an extremely competitive location. I make roughly $65k/year and he will be making roughly $50,000/year.

We interview one more daycare tomorrow. It will be between this new one (145/week) or her old day care at (172/week). The new daycare is closer to our home (1/2 mile from home 20minutes from work), but the old daycare is closer to my work (1/4 mile from work and 15min from house) . The new daycare also has a program where they have the kids in a more “school like setting” prepping them for pre k/kindergarten. Which would you think?

What will help us during this transition? I want to make sure we stay on top of chores/making sure we get family time together.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 🥰
